Learning to be a Mindful Caregiver  

Lori La Bey talks with Nancy Kriseman, MSW, who is a geriatric social worker with more than 30 years of experience providing counseling, consultation, and training to family caregivers. She has three caregiving books:

The Caring Spirit Approach to Eldercare 

Meaningful Connections: Positive Ways to Be Together When a Loved One Has Dementia

The Mindful Caregiver: Finding Ease in the Caregiving Journey

Learn:
What exactly is a mindful caregiver?
Are there strategies to handle resistance when the care recipient has dementia, doesn't want to move, give up driving, or go to the doctor, etc.?
How does resilience play a role in caregiving?
Does advertising play into how we perceive dementia and caregiving?
What are your thoughts about feeling unable to do things that used to be very common for a person with dementia?
What is compassionate deception?
What is the Spirit of Caring?
Nancy tells us about the "Activity Grab and Go Boxes" and how they can help families experience more meaningful time together.
What are some of the top tips you think will help families?

Learning to be a Mindful Caregiver 

Dementia Isn’t Something You Fix — It’s Something You Face
Lori La Bey talks with Glenna Hecht, a speaker, consultant, and the author of How Old Are You Today? Dementia, A Mother, A Daughter, and The Game That Transformed Their Lives. As a daughter who refused to let dementia erase her mother, Glenna wrote her book to help others stay connected when memory fades. Glenna has led HR for iconic brands, but still says her toughest and most meaningful role was as a caregiver.

Learn:
The difference between fixing and facing dementia
The art of care
The rules of care
What time travel have to do with dementia
How does the game/tool “How old are you today” work?
How to deal with guilt, grief, and confusion
How heartbreak and humor can work together to maintain sanity
